Suspect in custody after standoff on Highway 59

A man is in custody after an almost four hour long standoff Thursday on US Highway 59.

As previously reported, Capt. Jeff Wilson said the suspect was in a stolen car and had a felony warrant.

Around 10:30 a.m., police urged residents to avoid the area of 6700 US Highway 59 due to the incident.

The suspect had barricaded himself in a nearby residence and was believed to possibly be armed.

SRT was on scene and about four hours later, the suspect was taken into custody without incident.
